I am selling my bike this weekend and looking to buy another machine, any suggestions? Looking to get a dependable wheeler fast or not for around $1,500-2,000 what would be good for that price range? Want to get something that will last.

For that price range you can pick up an LT250R, My girlfriend has one and of course who does the maintanence on it, well I gotta admit that machine has'nt gave me much problems.
The only major problem that accured was when last winter she did'nt rejet (and I could care less) and she blew the engine, but hey no problem I bored it .020 over and had it ported.
This year I rejetted it for her and it runs great.
The only ones not to buy are the '85 and '86 models, crank problems. '87's and up are a lot better and put out 36 horsepower.
